Question

LPTIM does not count pulses from the COMP output

I want to count the pulses coming from COMP2's output using LPTIM1. However, when I send it to Tera Term, the displayed LPTIM value is consistently 1, and it doesn't match the COMP2 output.

Has anyone had this problem? How did you resolve it?

I would greatly appreciate it if there is an expert who can assist in fixing this issue.

I am using STM32Cube IDE Version: 1.10.1.

My MCU is STM32L051C8T, on a custom board

This is my clock

    Since you seem to be debugging the code through the serial port (Tera Term), I don't know if it can help in your case, but I found these videos about advanced debugging:

    Hello @Valen_id

    maybe as a first step, verify that the LPTIM counter is running; read the value of the counter (since it's always showing value 1)

    If I detect it with an oscilloscope, the output on the COMP pin out is like this

    Read out and check/post content of COMP and LPTIM registers.

    Thank you for your reply, how do I get it

    In debugger, you should have some kind of "peripherals view" window or something similar. I don't use CubeIDE so don't know where.

    Yes.

    And LPTIM_CNT is not 1 as you've said above.

    But why my counter value displayed in the serial terminal remains 1, do you know it

    Where do you change the counterValue variable?

    Do you mean my variable is on line 107

    Yes. You don't change it in the while() loop.
